Sans Faceted Afta 5 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gubia' by Graviton, 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Gilkons' by Letterhend, 'Magr' by Locomotype, 'Propane' by SparkyType, and 'Rotundus' by dayflash (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, geometric sans with faceted construction: strokes resolve into straight segments with consistent chamfered corners in place of curves. The design favors squared counters and clipped terminals, creating an octagonal rhythm across rounds like O, C, and G and a distinctly planar feel in diagonals and joins. Caps and lowercase share a sturdy, monoline structure; apertures are generally tight, with squared bowls and angular shoulders that keep texture dense and uniform. Numerals follow the same faceted logic with strong, sign-like silhouettes and clear step cuts at corners.
Best suited to display settings where the faceted geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, title cards, and identity marks. It also fits interface and game-style applications, labels, and signage where a compact, mechanical look is desirable and short strings need strong impact.
The overall tone is utilitarian and synthetic, evoking machined lettering, arcade/UI typography, and hard-edged geometric branding. Its sharp facets and compact spacing project a tough, technical mood that reads as assertive and controlled rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to translate curved, geometric forms into a crisp, planar system, prioritizing a cohesive octagonal construction and robust silhouettes for high-impact display typography with a technical, industrial edge.
At text sizes the dense color and tight internal spaces can feel heavy, while at display sizes the distinctive chamfers become a defining stylistic feature. The consistent corner treatment creates strong cohesion across letters, figures, and punctuation, giving lines a deliberate, engineered cadence.
